How many times is Jason Kelce going to make everyone fall in love with him? The adorable older brother of Travis Kelce proved once more that brotherly love transcends time and place.

Fans at Nevada’s Lake Tahoe had a blast cheering for some of the biggest names in football. Like the last few years, the Kelce brothers flew down from their homes for a day of fun, beer, and birdies.

A lucky reporter caught up with Jason, whose hat of choice had a tinge of ‘One Piece’ (inspired by Luffy?) touch to it. He looked sleek in the black t-shirt and lean, very different from his playing days as a Philadelphia Eagles center.

The reporter asked the older sibling, Jason, to describe his relationship with his younger brother, Travis. Jason’s first sentence after a brief pause melted millions of hearts worldwide.

He [Travis] is my best friend on the planet… and we get to talk once a week. Our families are close, and he is a great uncle [to Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett, and Finley]. We try to share the right amount on the internet… viral moments or what not, but we also try to keep some of the stuff private. We are fortunate that people like that stuff.

Jason Kelce said

This one is definitely becoming viral, similar to their duet on the opening day of the American Century Celebrity Golf Tournament. The Kelce bros rocked the stage with their version of the tune of ‘Old Time Rock & Roll.’

Did they receive some pointers from Travis’ Grammy-winning girlfriend, Taylor Swift?

Taylor’s given us tips before, but Travis has won it five times, so he’s a karaoke expert in his own right.’ He was definitely telling the dance routine, which I screwed up—but we had some fun with it.

Travis Kelce falls down several spots in NFL tight end ranking

While Jason and Travis were hitting a few nice hooks on the golf course, ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler released his annual tight end rankings. Needless to say, it was full of surprises.

People expect to see Travis Kelce’s name in the top 3, but Fowler picked Raiders Brock Bowers, 49ers George Kittle, and Lions Sam LaPorta, currently the three best tight ends in the league. Kelce finished fifth behind the highest-paid TE in NFL history, Trey McBride of the Cardinals.

Kelce turns 36 in October and has played nearly 200 games over 12 years, including playoffs. But several evaluators noted that Kelce played heavier last year, something he’s aiming to fix. He has slimmed down this offseason in preparation for what could be his final season.

Fowler wrote

The lackluster 2025 season numbers reflected on the list. Kelce recorded by far his worst numbers (excluding the rookie season, as he was injured): 97 catches for 823 yards and 3 touchdowns in 16 games.

The gossip about Kelce’s weight gained momentum during the offseason, raising concerns among Chiefs fans. Fortunately, these were just rumors, as the three-time Super Bowl champion is set to compete for his fourth title in 2025. He also mentioned he will discuss a contract extension with team officials next year if he doesn’t feel any lingering soreness.
